Thanks robert I have been looking for a sight like this. There is one out there that demonstrates color theory in photographs but I have not been able to find it since I lost my Favorites in a computer crash.

Technological society has succeeded in multiplying the opportunities for pleasure, but it has great difficulty in generating joy. Pope Paul VI

So, I think the "greats" were true to their visions, once their visions no longer sucked. Ralph Barker 12/2004

from here you could then break it down further but I will get too tired to go on.
I saw on Luminus Landscape the description of Colour Therory as you have shown with the web site. I like the sections on how one percieves colour but make no mistake .

When working with light and photographic colour materials the above is the Colour Basics.
As well PhotoShop works with these principles.

This is one of the areas of teaching that I think some photographers get side tracked.
I had a good book from college that explains Photographic Colour Theory, but I lost the book .
If anyone has a lead on a good book I would appreciate it.

True, my interest is more along the lines of how different colors make people feel, and how colors change our perception of a scene.

I have a day off from work, but I have a cold and I'm feeling blue. I'm embarrassed because I know how I got the cold; I kissed my snotty-nosed kid and it's leaving me a bit red-in-the-face. My frieds are all out with their cameras while I'm home with a cup or tea - I'm green with envy. What color room should I go to in order to hasten recovery?

True, this site isn't geared specifically towards photography. My primary interest, is one of understanding how color photography impacts the viewer, how certain colors impact a viewer emotions. This is the most useful part of the site, IMO. However, since one of my long term goals is to publish a book of photographs, it doesn't hurt to understand the publishing side of things (including web publishing) as well.

FWIW, I understand the basics of color in the darkroom process, I'm an old Cibachrome printer - learned the process in 1979. I've also printed Agfacolor and the older Kodak color processes.

When I was taught RYB-type colour theory, Johannes Itten's books were the things to read. I'd recommend them as a starting point.

Best,
Helen

Thanks Helen, I'll look for that book. From what I've read, I believe that you are correct about color being dependent upon the culture. For example, in Korea (where I lived for 5 years), white is considered the color of death (that is what people wore to funerals), where in the west we associate it more with joy and happiness.
